I found both the official magazine for Superman: The
Movie and Superman 2 at a comic book shop today. I had not seen either magazines
in ages.
I have added a picture of Jack with images of him as Non.
This is the Interview that Jack O'Halloran gave in the Superman 2 Official magazine.
"I always looked forward to a Superman movie....
"The Kids will definitely go more for Non's simplistic destructiveness then
for Zod's deviousness. His anger is generally to someone threatening his beloved
Zod,
and this will be similar to a child's protective reaction to someone threatening
a parent"
The man speaking is Jack O'Halloran, the onetime professional football
player and heavyweight boxer who plays the role of Non in Superman II.
"Non has a childlike mentality which derives much pleasure from
destructiveness," continues O'Halloran. "He is not cruel as the others, and
his thinking span is not all that great. The fact that so many people on
Earth pay attention to him gives him the same pleasure of a child suddenly
the center of attraction. He gets the most kick out of his powers. They are a
game to him."
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1943, the husky O'Halloran was an
all-around athlete in high school and played football for Western Kentucky
University before moving on to play pro ball with the Philadelphia Eagles.
But in 1966, having achieved everything he wanted from football, O'Halloran
exchanged his football gear for boxing gloves and had soon won sixty
heavyweight bouts and become the world's fifth-ranked heavyweight boxer.
Forced by illness to retire from prizefighting, the ever-versatile
O'Halloran then turned to acting, making his film debut in "Farewell, My
Lovely," opposite Robert Mitchum and Charlotte Rampling. Other roles quickly
followed in King Kong, March or Die, The Baltimore Bullets, Superman The
Movie, and now Superman II.
Superman, in fact , was one of Jack O'Halloran's most revered childhood
idols." I watched all of the George Reeves Series," he recalls fondly."
Everybody in America did. I always looked forward to a Superman movie, but
it never came. It's a lark for me to be involved in this one."
Here is a review for Superman: The Movie and Superman 2.
http://www.flickfilosopher.com/flickfilos/archive/012q/superman.shtmlScreenwriter David Newman passed away. here is an official statement from Jack about David Newman.
Yes I found David to be a kind and generous with his time individual. He
appeared to be a caring person to his wife. He was extremely talented in his
writing abilities And I genuinely liked him as did others who also respected
him. Jack
www.supermancinema.net has posted the superman: The Animated Movie again. They also have the teaser for Superman 2: The Animated Movie up.
I found this picture of Jack from EBay.
The Scifi Channel will be playing Superman: The Movie and Superman 2 on June 20th, 2003.
Bad News: Jack and Sarah are unable to attend the Chiller Theatre Convention.
The Scifi Channel is going to play a double feature of Superman: SE and Superman 2 on August 10th, 2002.
This is from the Superman Cinema Site:
Forgot about this one, so my apologies to the author of this new petition. Is there any news on a Superman 2 SE DVD? NOTHING, nothing is happening. Donner is busy putting finishing touches to TimeLine, his Science Fiction picture; it's possible that during the press junkets for his new film, the question can be raised again... I would be more than happy if Donner allowed his scenes to be incorporated in a supplementary section, I don't see a re-cut happening without going through some major legal hassle.
Here's the link
I have created a separate page of the Superman Links related to Sarah Douglas. She played Ursa in Superman 2..
Superman: The Movie and Superman 2 finally has been released in Region 2. There was a long delay for both titles. Superman Homepage has the info about the dvd for Superman: The Movie.
We have gotten alot of posts for the Superman 2: Richard Donner Director's Cut. You can read more about the Superman 2 at Superman Cinema Site.
Warner Bros had a chat with the members of Home Theatre Forum. One of the questions asked about about a Superman 2: Richard Donner Director's cut. Richard Donner was fired from Superman 2 and had completed 70 percent of the movie. You can see alot of his footage in TV version. Warner Bros stated that they know about the interested in this film. Perhaps the fans will do what I did with the Conan The Destroyer CE dvd petition..
Supergirl's Boyfriend made two homemade Superman 2 Trailers. The second includes footage from the extended version of Superman 2. Click on the links for the video. You will need Real Player to play both trailers. Both trailers include many scenes of Jack O'Halloran as Non.

I have made a new section for the Phantom Zone Villains. Some behind the scenes screenshots from the making of Superman: The Movie and Superman 2. The screenshots are from the 3 new documentaries that are on the Superman dvd. A message from Jack about the screenshots: They bring back a lot of memories actually good ones...........Jack

I remember Jack from Superman II. He played Non from The Phantom Zone Villains. He was the child of the group. I have seen the extended version of Superman II. There alot of good scenes for Jack. There is one scene where General Zod gives the okay for Non to use his powers. I like that scene.
